22) Aja Barber on Colonialism, Consumerism, and Changing the Fashion Industry
In this episode, I'm chatting with the one and only Aja Barber, a sustainable fashion thought leader, consultant, writer, and new author. Her debut book is called Consumed, The Need for Collective Change: Colonialism, Climate Change, and Consumerism.
Aja is sharing:
Aja is also breaking a lot of the myths perpetuated by fast fashion brands, like that shopping fast fashion is improving the economies in other countries, that sweatshop jobs are at least better than no jobs, or that these brands really have no control or awareness of the exploitation happening in their supply chains. She's also diving into why Depop (or any other secondhand site) isn't to blame for the reduced quality standards and higher prices at thrift stores.
